Terminology and Acronyms

 OPPSD – Overpressure Protection by System Design means protection of pressure equipment from
overpressure by means other than by use of a pressure relief valve, rupture disc, or pin device. Refer to
AB-525 Overpressure Protection Requirements for Pressure Vessels and Pressure Piping for details.
 Overpressure Risk Assessment - This is a risk assessment in which qualified personnel considers all
credible overpressure scenarios with respect to each pressure equipment component within its scope, and
determine either a required set pressure and capacity rating for a relief device, or a maximum upset
pressure for which the component needs to be designed. Refer to AB-525.
 P.Eng. – A Professional Engineer is a person who is registered as a professional engineer in a professional
organization and authorized to practice engineering in any province or territory of Canada in any state of the
United States of America
